Bawal is a beautiful word in Hindi whose meaning is clocked entirely by what happens in the half second before and after it lands.

It is a description; a bawal can be a riot, or the biggest compliment you can pay to genius, and in both cases it mandates you call a friend.

If you know Sanskrit, you can read something written thousands of years ago and understand every word of it.

No other civilization can claim this. Start learning Sanskrit so that you can connect to that past.

@moss_gossip @OldeWorldOrder Hitler planned to invade Russia before winter but German army got diverted in defending Italy's failed invasion of Greece due to which invasion of USSR was postponed. And by the time it occurred Russia's greatest weapon, as you said, was waiting for them.

Some people are asking why Spain still possesses territory in North Africa. A better question might be why North Africa is now Muslim and predominantly Arab.

The Mediterranean coast of North Africa was part of the Roman Empire. During the early centuries of Christianity, the region became such a stronghold of the faith that one historian described it as the “Bible Belt” of the ancient world. Three popes came from North Africa, and Latin became the dominant language in urban areas. This strong community of Christians in North African actually contributed significantly to the early spread of the faith into the Iberian Peninsula.

The character of the region began to change after Muslim Arab armies conquered the region in the seventh century. Those same forces also crossed into Europe, with the Moors conquering most of the Iberian Peninsula. Christianity survived in North Africa for several centuries but steadily declined as Christians faced forced conversion, persecution, and exile. Spanish and Portuguese efforts to recover territory in North Africa met with limited success. One notable exception was Ceuta, which Portugal captured in 1415. Ceuta held an important strategic location, as it had been a base used to launch the attacks on Spain and Portugal that led to the long subjugation by Muslims there.

After its conquest by Portugal, Ceuta again became overwhelmingly Christian. It later came under the Spanish Crown in the late 16th century. Morocco besieged the city from 1694 to 1727 in one of the longest sieges in history, but Spain retained control. Since Morocco gained independence in 1956, it has continued to dispute Spanish sovereignty over the territory.

Over the centuries, Muslims gradually returned to Ceuta. Economic migration, combined with higher birth rates among the city’s Muslim population, has substantially changed its demographics. Today, Muslims make up roughly half of Ceuta’s population.

Looking at the last 2,100 years of Ceuta’s history, the city has spent considerably more time as part of the Christian European world than under Arab-Muslim rule. It has never been part of the modern Kingdom of Morocco. The claim that Muslim-majority Morocco has an inherent right to Ceuta because it is located in North Africa ignores the greater part of the region’s history.

There must definitely be an Indian movie made of Alexander the Great Retreat. Because that's exactly what happened once he reached the borders of India.

Gaddafi even demanded 5 Billion Euros per year for acting as Europe’s “southern gatekeeper”, which Europe rejected.

You don’t have to admire Gaddafi or his policies to acknowledge that one of his warnings came to be true. (3/3)

In 2010, Muammar Gaddafi warned that if Libya collapsed, Europe would face increasing illegal migration across the Mediterranean. At that time, Libya was actively cooperating with European governments to intercept migrant boats and curb illegal migration. (2/3)

Congratulations to the entire Skyroot Aerospace Team on the successful launch of Vikram-1 (Mission Aagaman) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.
The mission marks a significant milestone for India’s private space sector and reflects the growing capability of the country’s space ecosystem.
Congratulations to IN-SPACe and ISRO teams, who enabled and facilitated the launch and ground testing operations along with technical consultancy and 24x7 safety surveillance.
This achievement is also a testament to the Space Sector Reforms envisioned by our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji.
